HP has announced plans to acquire wireless
network specialist Colubris Networks for an
undisclosed sum.
HP plans to integrate Colubris’ product line with its
ProCurve Networking product portfolio in order
to expand its wireless offerings into new markets, such as hospitality,
healthcare and education. Colubris offers wireless management and security
products, as well as 802.11n capabilities.
“The acquisition of Colubris Networks will strengthen ProCurve’s hardware,
management platform and services, significantly improving the overall
performance capabilities of both wired and wireless networks, and will deliver
even more best-in-class choices for our customers worldwide,” said Marius Hass,
HP ProCurve senior vice president and general manager.
The acquisition is expected to close by the end of HP’s fiscal year 2008 and
is subject to certain closing conditions.
